Babies grow fast, often outgrowing clothes and shoes within months. Richa Chadha shared that until last year, she was hesitant about having a child due to concerns about climate change. Now, even after welcoming their child, she and her partner remain environmentally conscious.

Richa Chadha expressed her concerns about consumerism and environmental issues and said, “I don’t want to be some kind of consumer robot, constantly looking to buy more things wrapped in plastic that end up in the ocean. In fact, Ali is very mindful of single-use plastics, more so for the baby.” She revealed that a year ago, she was firmly against having a child due to climate change and stated, “This is the hottest year we’ve had, and likely the coolest year you and I will experience going forward. Eco anxiety is a real thing for people like me who lie awake thinking about it.”

She shared, “Dia Mirza, a really good friend of mine, actually lives her truth. Many of the baby items in my home are from when she was pregnant. The books are gifts from Soha Ali Khan and my prenatal yoga instructor. There’s a wonderful community of women who may not make a big fuss about it, but they’ll say, ‘I’ve kept this for you,’ and then you pass it on too.”

She further added, “It’s tough to decipher your own thoughts in that space because none of it is psychological, it’s all biological. Your hormones are constantly fluctuating, leaving you to wonder why you feel a certain way. When I feel moody, I remind people not to take me too seriously and tell myself the same. I focus on the basics: getting some sunlight, basic nutrition, and working out.”

Richa and Ali Fazal first met on the sets of Fukrey in 2013 and decided to marry in 2020 during the pandemic.
